Grinnin In Your Face - Cover of Son House Classic

My own arrangement of the Classic Blues song by Son House. He was good enough not to need a guitar for this one.

Thanks Mr. Bug.  This is my go-to guitar now and someowhere in the range of my 12th build.  I stopped counting awhile ago and just use vague numbers when someone asks.  Keeps me in good with the other people in my house and I figure once you've built more than three you are your own special kind of freak so four, five and on make no greater difference.

Thanks turtlehead.  Yes, I believe the hat is working.  "Need a hood for your engine", as the good Captain Beefheart said.  I want to keep working with this song a little and I think it will get better as I get more confident with it.

Nice work.  I like what you did with it a lot.  I think the hat is working...

Thanks Wes.  I enjoyed doing this one.  I have been thinking of a way to do this one for quite awhile and it just sort of clicked this weekend.  I was inspired by a weekend visit from my sister.  While we were talking about some things she offered, "What people think of me is none of my business."  I really liked that and after an hour or so of fiddling with the chord changes, I had something I sort of liked.
